How can a teenager have a successful life?
I have recently done a survey about how a teenager can have a successful life.
Most students believe it's necessary to study hard. After all,study plays a key role in their life. They also agree they should respect their parents, who look after them every day. Besides,they're ready to serve the society and in their opinion it's really meaningful. What's more, they think each teenager is supposed to make a good plan for future.

A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案): (12分)
Sore throat, running nose, and dizzy (眩晕的) head. Oh, you’ve got the flu! Late autumn and early winter is flu season. The flu is annoying. It takes weeks to get over. It prevents us from concentrating (集中注意) in class and having fun on the playground. So can we do anything to prevent it?
Can exercise help our body fight off a cold or flu? This is a good question, but not easy to answer. There isn’t any research addressing this question. There was one small study among college students. But it did not show any difference in the body’s response (反应) to flu vaccine (流感疫苗) between students who exercised and those who did not. Exercise at the start of a cold or flu is unlikely to change the course of the illness.
On the other hand, a person who exercises often will be in better physical condition. They will be more energetic. They may sleep more soundly and therefore be better rested, and may feel happier and less stressed by a cold or flu. So regular exercise is likely to help a person fight off colds and the flu.
Because the flu and colds are caused by viruses, frequent hand-washing, keeping your hands away from your face, and avoiding contact with infected (被感染的) people will all help to prevent infection. Smoking makes a person more easily infected by viruses, so avoiding smoke is another way to be protected.
( )69. _______________is flu season.
A) Early spring and late autumn B) Late autumn and early winter
C) Early autumn and late winter D) Late winter and early spring
( )70. If you have got the flu, you won’t _______________ .
A) have a sore throat B) have a running nose
C) have a dizzy head D) have fun on the playground
( )71. Exercise at the start of a cold or flu _______________ change the course of the illness.
A) can B) can’t C) must D) mustn’t
( )72. A person who exercises often will _______________ .
A) sleep less soundly B) be less energetic
C) feel more stressed D) be better rested
( )73. In order to prevent ourselves from getting the flu, it is not good to____________ .
A) wash hands frequently B) keep hands away from your face
C) avoid contact with infected people D) smoke from time to time
( )74.The flu ____________.
A) takes a few hours to get over B) can be easily fought off

You’re standing with your classmates. Everyone is talking except you. Perhaps you’re afraid they will laugh at you when you say. Maybe you just aren’t _75__ enough to speak.
Shyness is like a snake that crawls(爬进) into our mouth and stops us __76 . But we shouldn’t let it stay there.
I am 29 years old. Even today, that snake still sometimes visits me. When I was in high school, I was so shy that I wouldn’t talk to anyone except my parents and best friends. If a 77 asked me the way to a local shop, it was as if I’d forgotten how to talk. One summer, I got a job in a 78 and that helped a lot. It meant I had to talk to customers（顾客）. I had to tell them how much their meal cost. I had to ask them 79 they want to drink Coke or Sprite. This job taught me how to speak with people.
You may be too young to find a part-time job. But you can look for other chances to speak with people. You can offer to help an old woman carry her heavy bag. Or you can go to get a newspaper for your family.
If you do these things 80 , the ‘shyness’ snake will soon begin to leave you alone. It’ll look for another mouth to crawl into.

Now students’ English handwriting (书法) gets worse and worse. That makes their teachers feel w 81__ . Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are four steps that really work!
◆ Use paper with lines.
Using paper with lines can keep you writing straight instead of up or down when you write English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the r 82 size. Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And make sure those capital letters (大写字母) are written properly.
◆ Slow down.
If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going slower makes the handwriting clear. If you write too fast, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and even w ____83___ , you may make more mistakes .
◆ Hold your pencil right.
When you hold your pencil in a correct way, writing is much easier. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to be relaxed and don’t hold the pencil so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good h 84___ .
◆ Draw more pictures.
Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to c 85__ your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by y 86 at home.
Handwriting is very important. Imagine you are a world-famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your f 87 __ run up to you? Give them your autographs (亲笔签名), of course！

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): (12分)
Answer the following questions.（根据短文内容回答下列问题。) ( 12分)
Many Europeans have not only weekends and bank holidays but also five to seven weeks paid leave. Usually parents plan to spend three or four weeks with the family in summer. Because of my earlier years in China, I found it difficult to understand the European attitude towards holidays.
During my childhood in the 1960s, my parents were always busy with work and meetings. I was left alone with Grandma. The only long period of time we could get together once a year was the Spring Festival. I missed our parents badly, but didn’t say so because I had been told that hard work was everyone’s duty and that we could not have our own small family without a big family.
Later I was a hard-working student at university. I was always told holidays were a waste of time and I felt as if I had done something wrong if I did nothing during a holiday.
I didn’t change this idea until I met my boss abroad. When I called him at home after office hours for business, he politely told me he preferred talking about work with me in the office.
When the holiday season came near, he asked me to plan my holidays. He told me holiday was a right (权利) for everyone.
Giving up a holiday for the company is encouraged in China, but is foolish here. I began to think about holidays.
Nowadays, Chinese take long weekends and have paid holidays. But do they use their holidays to enjoy family life? I hope so because my experience in China and Europe has helped me understand that work is not my whole life and that a family is also very important. I do not want to feel sorry in the future and I certainly spend as much time with my son as possible.
There is nothing wrong with either working hard or taking holidays, but we shouldn’t have one instead of the other. It is important to keep a balance between work and play.
88. The writer found it easy to understand the European attitude towards holidays at first, didn’t he? （1分）
_______, __________________.
89. Why was the writer left alone with Grandma during his childhood?

90. When did the writer change his idea on holidays?

Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. They also find that career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the people without jobs are in poorer health than those with jobs. A study shows that when the number of persons with jobs goes up by 1%, the number of death goes down by 2%. All these show that work is helpful to health.
Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, make them feel less lonely. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work, people keep in touch with each other. They find friendship and warmth by doing different kinds of activities. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It makes people likely to have diseases.
What’s more, work gives one a sense of success. Work makes one feels his importance in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.

Dear Betty,
Knowing that you care too much about the result of the coming exam, I am quite worried. Actually, the most important thing is not the result of the exam but the learning journey.
There are some effective ways to calm down. First, keeping reminding yourself to stay in peace is the most helpful. Second, it will help you to relax if you spare some time doing some activities after school like sports. Finally, talk to your parents and friends, who are always ready to comfort you. In a word, the result itself is not really important, but we should work hard while learning.
Yours,
Joe

Watch young children in a school class. You will often notice that there are three or four—especially boys who cannot sits s_____81____. They have trouble paying attention to the teacher for longer than a few minutes, and they seem to forget things the teachers tells them. What is the manner with them? Many doctors think they need medicine, so they give the children a drug c_____82____ Ritalin(利他林). It is supposed to help them settle down and pay better attention. It works, but it is also dangerous. Ritalin has some bad side effects, and it can even kill children who take too much. Because of the serious side effects of Ritalin, many people think it is not good for children.
Ritalin seems to affect both a child’s mind and body. The drug does help children calm down and focus, but some scientists claim( 声称) that Ritalin decreases the flow of blood to the b____83_____. This effects a child’s thinking and memory and makes it more difficult to learn. Scientists also think that the drug might l_____84____ a child’s ability to grow and an cause trouble sleeping. Another problem is that children can take too much of the drug. Some children like the way the drug makes t_____85____ feel, so they take more than they should. They know this is wrong, but they cannot stop, much the same as people who cannot stop smoking. A third problem is that doctors do not know if the drug is really safe or not. Doctors do not know what happens to children who take this drug for a long time. They do not know if these children show side effects after they grow up. Ritalin might help when children are young but are there bad effects l____86_____ in life? Because nobody knows for sure, some scientists say that Ritalin should not be used.
Today, some doctors and teachers say that there are better ways than drugs to help children with attention problems. One good idea is to give children better food and make sure they get more rest. Another way to help children with attention problems is to find teachers who have special training with a_____87____ children. Such teachers know how to help these children learn. Another idea is for parents and teachers to simply be patient. Most children’s attention will improve naturally as they get older. Parents and teachers just have to give these children time to develop.

Every day, it takes three calligraphers（书法家）three hours to write a page before the paper is printed and sent to its 21, 000 readers. These calligraphers must be very (83)c___ not to make any writing mistakes, because even a small mistake can lead to a whole page being rewritten.

But for Syed Arifullah, who took over the newspaper from his father, it is his duty to keep the paper alive as a way to protect the Urdu language and especially its calligraphy.

In the city I live in, some seats on every bus come in orange color, different from the rest which are blue. Those seats are intended for(预留) a certain group of people—the old and some who need special care, such as the disabled or those with small babies. So you can often see young people choose to take others seats instead of the orange ones if possible.
One day, my friend Lisa boarded a bus and found the only untaken seat was an orange one. She h______81__ for a moment and slowly walked to it and sat down.

To her s____84____, she soon became the target of criticism(批评的目标) from some people standing beside her.
“Shameless,” a voice said.
“Morality decays(道德败坏),” another voice added.
Lisa kept silent as the short conversation went. She wanted to say something but held the words back. She understood as the only young person taking the orange seat on this bus , she “should” feel ashamed. Lisa turned her face to the window to hide her embarrassment. If you were a passage on that but, would you stand out a ___85_____ her and blame(责怪) her for not giving up her seat? If I hadn’t known the story of Lisa’s side, I would. However, the truth is : Lisa had just a small o____86____ and was in recovery (恢复). Her doctor had told her to sit instead of s____87____ as much as possible.

Most people would think they have a poor m__82__. But scientists believe that the act of walking through doorways makes them forget things. They call it the “doorway effect”.

The brain is the most fascinating part of our body. Even though there has been all medical research, n__81__ really understands everything about it. Like the rest of our body, our brain needs to be cared for. The ways that we keep our mind healthy can be quite s__82__.

Many people think their brain will slow down with age and their memory will get worse as a result. The t__83__ is, just like your body, you can also improve your mind.

The same kind of method can be used with important dates. If you have a picture in your mind of a particular event, it’s much e__85__ to remember than just a number on a calendar.
Another way of improving your mind is to make sure you r__86__ visit new places and have new experiences. Traveling more often has much more long-term benefits than you would have ever expected.

In northern Europe, there is a small town where many buildings have an international border(边界) running through them. This unusual town is named Baarle. Half of the town belongs to Belgium(比利时) and the other half belongs to the Netherlands (荷兰). This border is 75 white crosses on the pavement with “B” on one side and “NL” on the other.
Local residents have more choices in their lives because of the special 76 of the town. For example, they can go shopping any day of the week. Shops in Belgium are closed on Sundays while those in the Netherlands are not. Therefore, when the Belgian shops have to close on Sunday, people can 77 buy anything they need in the Dutch (荷兰的) shops. Some shop owners, whose shops are divided by the border, take advantage of it by installing a front door on the Dutch side, so that they can do business seven days a week.
However, there are 78 , too. For example, the Belgian Baarle and the Dutch Baarle have to seek permission from each other to build a road if the road runs right on the border. Besides, a house may have 79 street numbers if it sits on the border, which is confusing sometimes.

This request is not just about students’ safety, but also helping the school. It is a good __77__ to improve relations between parents and schools. Secondly, parents can set a good example for their kids by working __78__ for their school. Most of these parents are office workers. They have their own things to do. They hurry to work every morning. To meet this new request, some may have to ask time off. This will affect their work performance. I think it’s better to ask for the parents’ __80__ first. If some are willing to volunteer, they can do so. But it shouldn’t be something that every parent has to do.

The rise of e-learning
21 February, 2053
A new study published today shows that e-learning is more popular than ever. According to a survey, 57% of students now get degrees(学位) through e-learning, with only 43% getting degrees by attending a __75__ university.
We spoke to Zhong Tai, an eighteen-year-old student from Sichuan Province who started an e-learning course last month.
“After I finished high school, I knew I wanted to continue to study,” Zhong Tai told us. “I really wanted to study economics at university, but I felt bad about __76__ my parents. My father suffers from a severe illness. He needs help moving around. He also needs someone to cook his meals and give him his medicine at the right time each day. My mother is a teacher, so she cannot help him during the day. We didn’t want to hire(雇) someone to look after him. It had nothing to do with money I just didn’t feel right leaving my father with a __77__. My mum suggested I go to a university nearby and continue to live at home, but none of the universities close to my home town offer economics. Then my friend suggested I find out more about e-learning. I soon learnt that I could get a good degree without going away from home. I applied to the University of London, and they __78__ me. I started an economics course with them four weeks ago.”
Yet, though Zhong Tai is now a graduate at the University of London, he has never been to Britain. In fact, he has never left Sichuan.
We asked Zhong Tai whether he felt bad about missing some __79__ enjoyed by students studying on the campus, such as making new friends from different places.
“Not at all,” he replied. “I have made a lot of friends with people from my course online. __80__, during the evenings and weekends, I go out with my friends from high school. Since most of them also use e-learning, we all still live close to one another.”

Who owns English?
In China and most other countries, English is the most important foreign languages that children will learn at school. English is now used by nearly a quarter of the world’s_____75_____ , and anywhere you go in the world, there is a good chance that someone will speak English.
How did this happen? English has not always been the most ____76______ language. Until English became important in the twentieth century, people who had any education spoke French. What’s more, English spelling doesn’t give much help with pronunciation, and its grammar is difficult, _____77_____the word order.
The reason why English is spoken everywhere is that in the 18th century, products from the UK were sold all over the world. And in the twentieth century, the US_____78_____ English all over the world through newspapers, television and films. It’s now used for international travel, science, industry and recently, information technology and the Internet.
But it’s also important to remember that English has_____79_____ many words from other language, either exactly the same words or very similar ones. It uses “restaurant” from French, “zero” from Arabic, “piano” from Italian, and “Kongfu”, “wonton” and other words from China.
So who owns English? The answer is everyone who speaks it ---the British, the Indians and the Chinese all help make it a(n) ____80_____language. We are all part of an international club where everyone speaks English. We all own English.

Do you have any effective ways of learning to share? Here are some tips on how to ___75___ the Exam Season. ?
Prepare yourself
My first tip is to prepare yourself for reviewing. Let me explain what I mean by this.
During the term, you’re going to take a lot of notes and go to all the lectures, and these are the first steps in the learning ___76___. Now, at the end of the week, gather all the notes you took and run through them quickly. While doing this, constantly(不断地) ask yourself, “Do I understand what I am reading?” If yes, great. If not, ask a friend or a teacher; you can also _____77____ on the internet or go to a library. This take a little effort, but the results will be worth it.
There are two big advantages. You understand ____78_____ before the exam period starts, so you don’t have to bother other people with your questions during this stressful time, and the second benefit is that you have seen the material before you start reviewing, so you’ll probably remember some things, and it makes reviewing ____79_____.
Switch between different types of revision
My second trip is to plan between different types of revision in order to study more efficiently. ____80_____you are motivated(主动积极的) to study, everyone gets bored after a couple of hours of studying. We get distracted or tired from time to time. Planning different types of active revision helps. You can , for example, study using flashcards for an hour, then work on a summary for an hour, then have lunch, etc.

What makes an advertisement effective? You can easily answer this question if you walk around a city. A good ad is one that gets your attention and makes you focus on the important __75__, too.
To learn how to create an effective ad, like a poster for example, start by __76__ the two posters on the right. Answer this without stopping to think: Which one is more effective? Yes, it’s the one at the bottom. Let’s examine why.
First of all, it’s more colourful and it’s got attractive pictures. The white and black poster almost becomes invisible next to it. Colour draws attention. Moreover, it can __77__ your feelings and make you react in a certain way. Images do the same. Do the cupcakes on the poster at the bottom make your mouth water? Do they make you quickly go through the text to find out where you can get them? That’s what they’re there for!
An ad isn’t just colour and pictures. You’ve got something to say, so the next thing you should do is to decide how much text you should write. Remember that people are impatient and will __78__ read a long text to see what it’s about. The amount of text should be just right to get your message across, so focus on your message and say it with as few words as possible. Your choice of font (the style of letters), font size (how big or small the letters are) and font colour also play an important role. You want the text to be __79__ to read, especially from a distance.
__80__, you have to decide how you’re going to organize both the pictures and the text in the space you’ve got. A good layout helps people ‘read’ the ad quickly and communicates your message more effectively. If your poster is too busy, your message will simply get lost!

Shops have all kinds of tricks to get you in their doors, or on their websites, and spending. They are like traps to catch you, the buyer. If you know what those traps are, you can avoid falling into them.
Loss leaders（亏本促销商品）
Step one is to get you into the shop. The ___75___ that they do this is by advertising a product that you need at a crazy low price. The price might even be below cost. They ___76___ lose money when you buy that milk or those disapers, but you come in for that. Once in the shop you are sure to get the other things that you want and need, aren’t you? Those are called loss leaders.
The expensive one makes yours seem reasonable
You’re looking for a quality jacket. The one you want costs more than you ___77___, but right next to it is a very expensive one. Suddenly yours seems pretty reasonable. You decide to buy it ___78___ some people are spending even more money on jackets. You’ve been caught out! The placing of differently-priced items like this is done on purpose.
They give you a place to rest
You are tried from shopping and are thinking of going home. But then you see a bench, or a place to get a cheap coffee or cake. You take a break and then you are ___79___ to shop again. That is just what is likely to happen. Some shops even provide creches where parents can leave their children in order to shop more easily.
That“99”really ___80___ people to buy
You probably don’t believe that just because something is priced $9.99 instead of $10 you’ll buy it. But studies have proven that it is true. It is called the“left-digit effect”. Be aware of that when you shop.
Avoid these traps so that you won’t spend too much.

room, my grandfather stopped me.“Wait a minute.”I heard him say,“Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has
to ___79___ to do things for himself.”
“Hurry up,”he said to me,“and come and see me when you get back.”For the next two and a half hours I

D. Answer the questions
When I was in high school, I worked part-time helping Dad sell fruits and vegetables at a market. One day, as I
was preparing the fruits, a little boy came by with his mom and sister. He was about eight years old, and the girl,
six or seven. They were looking at the fruits in front of me. I heard the kids say to their mom in French.“They’re
good!”I knew it was French because I can speak and understand it.
Then I noticed how the mom was picking the fruits. At first I thought she was really looking at the fruits because
she was facing them. But then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out. And
she often asked her son if it looked okay, but looked way above where his face was. Putting what I saw together, I
was sure she was blind.
Both of the kids continued to help their mom pick out the fruits. The son made sure the fruits were not obviously
bad, and the daughter handed them to her mom. The woman then felt each one and smiled, and the daughter would
put them into their basket. The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out.
Their smile and gentle manner moved me in a way that never happened before. It was so beautiful to see such
young kids so willingly help. Most kids that age would be picking out candies or toys in a store for themselves,
instead of helping their mom pick out fruits as the two kids did.
It was great to see the moment with my own eyes, but not so great because I didn’t tell the mom how beautiful
her children were in their language. This is what I feel sorry to this day.

Until the early twentieth century, it was always unsuccessful to transfuse blood(输血) from one person
to another person. Then in 1901, Karl Landsteiner, an Austrian scientist, discovered that there are four types
of blood. These four blood types were named A, B, AB, and O. People have one of these four types. Blood
type O is the most _____46_____ around the world because the number of the people with type O is the
largest, while type AB is the least. If people with type A blood are given type B blood, or people with type
B blood are given type A blood, they will ____47______ die. Karl Landsteiner’s research made it possible
to be sure that people who need blood get the correct type.
The study of blood didn’t stop. In 1972, a Japanese doctor, Furukawa Takeji, _____48_____ another
research about blood. And he came up with the idea that it was possible to tell one person’s______49____
only by his blood type, which can help you know about the person quickly.
A. suggestion B. matches C. laugh at D. calm E. care for
For example, people with type A blood are usually serious. They always have a______50____ and careful
attitude when they deal with many things; People with type B blood are cheerful, and outgoing; People with
type O blood are generous and honest; while those with type AB blood are often caring and helping. They
are always willing to_____51_____ others.
Last year, a doctor in the United States wrote a book that links blood types and what people eat. For
example, his book gives some_____52_____, like people with type O blood should eat more meat and less
bread. A diet for people with type A blood includes more vegetables. His book, Eat Right for Your Type, has

Winter was found off the coast of Florida in December of 2005. She was just a few months old, a__82__,

The fisherman who found her called for help. And a rescue team soon arrived. But the s__83__ was

After much hard work, the doctors m__84__ to save Winter, but sadly, not her tail. Her tail were too

D. Answer the questions.
I-Shou Lin(林义守) is a very successful businessman. When he was a child, he had no opportunity to
get a formal education, but didn’t let that hold him back. By the age of ten, he had begun a few small
businesses. In 1988, Lin started a steel factory in Taiwan where he was born, and then developed it well. 11
years later, the production doubled.
During this time, his mom reminded him of the importance of education. Because he had made some
money, she felt he had a social responsibility to help in this field. Then Lin realized that few students studied
electrical machinery. So he started Kaohsiung Polytechnic Institute (KPI), which was later upgraded to I-
Shou University.
When asked about education, Lin replied that the next generation needed to be educated from an
international point of view. And in 2004, I-Shou International School was set up.
After suffering a serious illness, Lin realized that life is priceless. He looked for more ways to improve
people’s lives. As a result, he established a world-class hospital with the latest equipment and best-trained
staff. I-Shou university’s medical school combines education and medicine to educate students to serve
those in need.
Life needs fun as well. Having travelled to many countries and regions, Lin thought Taiwan should be
as desirable as Singapore, Hong Kong and Macau. Then he developed E-DA World. It includes one of Asia’s
best outlet malls as well as the region’s largest amusement park and theater.

Shou Lin!

What makes an advertisement effective? You can easily answer this
question if you walk around a city. A good ad is one that gets your attention
and makes you focus on the important __75__, too.
To learn how to create an effective ad, like a poster for example, start
by __76__ the two posters on the right. Answer this without stopping to
think: Which one is more effective? Yes, it’s the one at the bottom. Let’s
examine why.
First of all, it’s more colourful and it’s got attractive pictures. The white
and black poster almost becomes invisible next to it. Colour draws attention.
Moreover, it can __77__ your feelings and make you react in a certain way.
Images do the same. Do the cupcakes on the poster at the bottom make your
mouth water? Do they make you quickly go through the text to find out
where you can get them? That’s what they’re there for!
An ad isn’t just colour and pictures. You’ve got something to say, so
the next thing you should do is to decide how much text you should write.
Remember that people are impatient and will __78__ read a long text to see
what it’s about. The amount of text should be just right to get your message

__80__, you have to decide how you’re going to organize both the pictures and the text in the space
you’ve got. A good layout helps people ‘read’ the ad quickly and communicates your message more

A healthy mind
The brain is the most fascinating part of our body. Even though there has been all medical research,
n__81__ really understands everything about it. Like the rest of our body, our brain needs to be cared for.
The ways that we keep our mind healthy can be quite s__82__. Getting a good night’s sleep, eating a
balanced diet and taking deep breaths are all important methods of looking after both your body and your
brain.
Many people think their brain will slow down with age and their memory will get worse as a result.
The t__83__ is, just like your body, you can also improve your mind. I’ve found I can improve my memory
by i__84__ what I need to remember. For example, if I’m going shopping and I need bread, milk and a
birthday card for my brother, I form pictures of a loaf of bread, a carton of milk with a cow on the front and
a birthday card with a football on it.
The same kind of method can be used with important dates. If you have a picture in your mind of a
particular event, it’s much e__85__ to remember than just a number on a calendar.
Another way of improving your mind is to make sure you r__86__ visit new places and have new
experiences. Traveling more often has much more long-term benefits than you would have ever expected.
Personally I find learning English is a great way to keep the brain working, but communication with others
in any language is important. Having a c__87__ is much better for your brain than staring at a computer
screen or at other people talking on TV.
D. Answer the questions.
Dear Mrs. Smith,
I regret to inform you that your order for bed clothes and curtains will not arrive on schedule. The
reason for this is the factory that supplies our fabrics(面料) flooded during the typhoon over the weekend.
All of the material it had in stock(存货) was ruined, and its workers now have to clean up the factory. This
includes repairing some of the looms it uses to make the fabrics.
As a result, it will take an additional two weeks for them to send us the fabrics. Since you custom-
ordered these fabrics, the factory has agreed to deal with your order first. As soon as we receive it, my
company will also give your order priority; after all, you are a valuable customer for us. We’ll try to get all
the bed clothes and curtains done as soon as possible.
I’ll email you when we start sewing work, and again when the items are finished and we’ve done
quality control on them. __92__, and I hope you will continue to use our services in the future.
Sincerely,
Joes Sewing Company

D. Answer the questions.
The American high school author named Juliette Turner has published her third book aimed at middle
school readers. With her new novel That’s Not Hay in My Hair, she has become a new star in the world of
publishing.
Turner is just 18 years old. After she finished fourth grade in New York, she moved to Cooke County,
Texas, with her mother where she started a new life working with horses and cattle and her writing career.
“My mother and I were the only people living there,” Turner said. “It was just the two of us breaking
the ice on the cow-water trough(奶牛饮水槽).”
Turner’s mother, Janine Turner, is a famous actress in the US. Life in Cooke County was not as
glamorous(令人向往的) as the life she had lived before. But for Turner, rural(农村的) life gave her a lot of
material to write about.
That’s Not Hay in My Hair is unlike Turner’s first two books. “Everything that happened in the book
actually happened in the lives of my mom and I.” she said. The adventures were too crazy to believe, but it
all happened exactly how it’s written.
Indeed, Janine Turner was one of the first people to read the book. “I’ve been too busy doing my own
things before. She’s written these books all by herself. I didn’t even read this one until it was finished,” said
Janine, “She has an amazing power.”
As Turner is thinking about her upcoming college life, she hasn’t decided whether her adulthood will
be spent in a city or in the country.
“I will always be a country girl at heart,” she said. “I love the country life. It is where I feel at peace
and at home. I don’t know where life is taking me at the moment. But I will always return home to the
country and to my mom. It’s where my roots are.”
88. Who did Juliette Turner’s new novel That’s Not Hay in My Hair mainly aim at?
89. When and where did the young author start her writing career?
90. Life in Cooke County was not the same as the life the girl had lived before, was it?
91. How is That’s Not Hay in My Hair different from Juliette’s first two books?
92. Why did Juliette’s mother said “She has an amazing power”?
93. What does Juliette Turner mean by saying “It’s where my roots are” in the last paragraph?

Who has seen Yeti? This mysterious human-like animal lives in and around Asia’s high Himalayan Mountains.
Or does he? For years, stories of the Yeti have attracted the interest of explorers and adventurer from around the
world. In the local cultures of the Himalayan people, old stories of the famous Yeti are everywhere. Many stories
say the Yeti is not an animal, but perhaps a half-ape（半猿），half human intelligent animal. No one can say for
sure. What we do only know is that the Yeti is a powerful mix of fact and fiction.
Over 150 years ago, Europeans curious about the Yeti began to enter China. They were looking for something to
prove that the Yeti existed. They hoped the photograph, or maybe even catch, a real-life Yeti. Over the years, many
explorers saw large unexplained footprints in the snow. Several European climbers even reported seeing a hairy,
ape-like animal from a distance.
The search for the Yeti didn’t become so popular later. Yeti fur“found”by various climbers was examined by
scientists and proved to be unreal. People began to question the existence of the Yeti. In 1998, the Chinese
government had to stop some activities of a nature reserve（保护区）which was doing great business by inviting
tourists to buy tickets and hunt the Yeti. The reserve even offered large prices for anyone lucky enough to catch a
Yeti! Clearly, basic human curiosity（好奇心）keeps the Yeti myth alive today. Plenty of unexplained footprints,
bodies and stories continue to feed out curiosity as well. However, nobody can prove exactly whether the Yeti exists
or not.（266 words）

A. the Yeti is harmful to human beings.
B. they are interested in stories of the Yeti.
C. they want to make a living by hunting the Yeti.
D. the Yeti lives in and around Asia’s high Himalayan Mountains.
70. The underlined word“fiction”in Paragraph 1 probably means“____”.
A. stories people imagine B. opinions people have
C. reasons people explain D. things people complain about
71. People began to think the Yeti may not exist _____.
A. when Europeans curious about the Yeti decided to enter China
B. before the Chinese government had to stop some activities of a nature reserve
C. after Yeti for“found”by various climbers was proved not true
D. when several European climbers failed to photograph a real-life Yeti
72. The reserve invited tourists to hunt the Yeti in order to ____.
A. make money B. prove Yeti’s existence
C. do experiments D. make itself famous

D. Answer the questions
Whether from the novels, TV show or movies, everyone knows Sherlock Holmes. His stories are among the most
read material in the world, behind only the Bible（圣经）and the dictionary.
The famous detective stories were written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Though he studied medicine and managed
to practise it, writing became his pleasure in life and made him famous all over the world. In addition to his gift in
writing detective stories, he had a medical background that enabled him to be of service during wars and journeys
to both Antarctica and Africa.
During his university years, Doyle found his studies dull but loved watching his unusual teachers. One of these
was Dr. Joseph Bell, who liked to observe to find solutions to problems. While Bell could guess people’s jobs just
by observing them carefully, he was also cold to his patients. And so Doyle’s famous Holmes was born a confident
detective with a keen eye but an indifferent（冷漠的）attitude.
Doyle began to publish detective stories of Sherlock Holmes in The Strand magazine in 1891 and achieved great
success. These exciting and enjoyable adventures attracted the British middle class who lined up to buy magazines
and read them. Doyle, however, felt Holmes was blocking his desire to write historical novels and killed him off in
1893. Angry letters and protest failed to bring Holmes back until 8 years later.
Holmes continued being popular through new novels, BBC’s TV shows and the Robert Downey Jr. films. Some
fans are even crazy about Sherlock Holmes. A group of fans called Sherlockians claim（宣称）that Sherlock Holmes
was a real person and his stories are historical record. As they work to prove their claims and as books and films
about Holmes continue to fill our homes, our favourite detective certainly lives on.（299 words）
